Jumper car, should only take a very short and low power jumper until the system powers up.

Proceed as usual.

Please keep in mind that this does not work on Model S prior to somewhere around late to mid 2014. Prior to that, there was no external release.
Also, that article doesn't show where you open the frunk on Model S built after late 2014 thru before the facelift. It's a different place on those.

Sure... but the older cars have accessible 12V posts on the front without needing to pop the frunk...
